If you have tears, prepare to shed them now - these words Shakespeare's Julius Caesar could be relevant for citizens of Delhi. Only, you may not have to prepare to shed your tears, they may force themselves out owing to the pollution.

Next year, February 28 onwards, if you park your car in non-designated areas in the national capital, you will have to pay a hefty fine -- 10 times that of the parking fee.

Forty-two years after it broke box office records, posters of Bollywood superhit "Sholay" made an appearance in Surat, the financial capital of Gujarat.

Young Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani met Rahul Gandhi near Gujarat's Surat on Friday and said the Congress vice president has promised to include most Dalit demands in his party's manifesto for next month's assembly elections.

As he moved through Bharuch in South Gujarat, driving from one public meeting to another, the crowds surged, forcing Rahul Gandhi to clamber out of his bus and onto an open-top vehicle. This is Mr Gandhi's third foray to Gujarat to appeal to people to give his Congress party a chance; for 22 years, the state has been loyal to the BJP

Asked, not for the first or last time, when he will get married, Rahul Gandhi today invoked destiny. "Jab hogi, hogi (It will happen when it happens). I believe in destiny," the Congress Vice President said, replying to a question by Olympics medalist Vijender Singh at a business awards meet.

In another scathing attack on the government, Rahul Gandhi on Thursday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government of "killing" the economy with "two quick shots to the chest," referring to last year's notes ban and new national tax GST, which he also alleged has "unleashed a tsunami of tax terrorism."
